Consequently we promote Silverchef as something for our partners’ senior staff and the Bootcamp as something for junior staff. But if you are a general manager or an investor who isn’t afraid of roughing it a little, you will not want to miss the:

Gorilla Highlands Bootcamp on 17-21 November 2018

with the main topic:

Transforming Our Initiative into an International Organisation

Yes, after we talked about adding Congo at the 2017 Bootcamp, we will be tackling an even more significant matter this year: the partner survey of April-May 2018 showed strong support for formalising what we have been building since 2011. Seven years after it all began, it’s high time to stop being an informal cooperative and become something that exists officially.

If you find this important but still feel you don’t belong into dugout canoes (anymore?) there will also be a chance to take part digitally through online discussions — please still register in the form below. (The same applies to those who sadly can’t make it to Uganda.)

The 2018 Bootcamp remains a mixture of a canoe-based fam trip, lectures and debates that is open to all tourism, media, marketing and conservation professionals and remains completely free.

There is no catch. You will be accommodated, fed and entertained at no charge, you only have to convince us you are worth it and finally organise some means to Bunyonyi.
